It is the people, and not the judges, who are entitled to say what their constitution means, for the constitution is theirs, it belongs to them and not to their servants in office—any other theory is incompatible with the foundation principles of our government.

More From Theodore Roosevelt

Men in great place are thrice servants; servants of the sovereign state, servants of fame, and servants of business; so as they have no freedom, neither in their persons, nor in their actions, nor in their times. it is a strange desire to seek power and to lose liberty; or to seek power over others, and to lose power over a man's self.
Men Self Liberty
The words of the declaration of independence, as given effect by washington...are to be accepted as real, and not as empty phrases...that in very truth this is a government by the people themselves, that the constitution is theirs, that the courts are theirs, that all the government agents and agencies are theirs... it is for the people themselves finally to decide all questions of public policy and to have their decision made effective...we here, in america, hold in our hands the hope of the world.
Real Agency Government
Still stands the forest primeval; but far away from its shadow, side by side, in their nameless graves, the lovers are sleeping.under the humble walls of the little catholic churchyard,in the heart of the city, they lie, unknown and unnoticed;daily the tides of life go ebbing and flowing beside them,thousands of throbbing hearts, where theirs are at rest and forever,thousands of aching brains, where theirs no longer are busy,thousands of toiling hands, where theirs have ceased from their labors,thousands of weary feet, where theirs have completed their journey!
Wall Lying Heart
Diversity on the bench is critical. as practitioners, you need judges who 'get it!' we need judges who understand what discrimination feels like. we need judges who understand what inequality feels like. we need judges who understand the subtleties of unfair treatment and who are willing to call it out when they see it!
Judging Diversity Needs
There is nothing so bad or so good that you will not find englishmen doing it; but you will never find an englishman in the wrong. he does everything on principle. he fights you on patriotic principles; he robs you on business principles; he enslaves you on imperial principles; he bullies you on manly principles; he supports his king on loyal principles and cuts off his king's head on republican principles.
Kings Patriotic Fighting
Conservatives came to office to reduce the size of government and enlarge the sphere of free and private initiative. but lately we have increased government in order to stay in office. and, soon, if we don't remember why we were elected we will have lost our office along with our principles, and leave a mountain of debt that our children's grandchildren will suffer from long after we have departed this earth. because, my friends, hypocrisy is the most obvious of sins, and the people will punish it.

I think children should be vaccinated because that affects the health of all the other children.
Children Thinking Should
We treat our future selves as though they were our children, spending most of the hours of most of our days constructing tomorrows that we hope will make them happy
Children Self Tomorrow
The beggarly question of parentage--what is it, after all? what does it matter, when you come to think of it, whether a child is yours by blood or not? all the little ones of our time are collectively the children of us adults of the time, and entitled to our general care. that excessive regard of parents for their own children, and their dislike of other people's, is, like class-feeling, patriotism, save-your-own-soul-ism, and other virtues, a mean exclusiveness at bottom.
Children Mean Thinking
I firmly believe that if you help a woman, then you educate a child, you help the family. because women are very focused on health care and education and on the family. so if you help a woman, you help the family, you help the village, you help the country. and so empowering women is a very important part of moving, not just women forward, but the economy of the nation forward. particularly in very substandard nations.
